Why are half of the comments on Hackernews stereotypical AI-bros whose lives revolve around tech, and the other half sceptical commentators whose lives also revolve around tech but they are disappointed with its performance?!

Where are the normal people :/

We are just reading the comments.

The normal people are the ones not writing comments, but I'll give you one 'cause you asked:

I'm a Solidworks user. Most Solidworks or other pro CAD users would consider OpenSCAD kind of like MS Paint. Yes, you can draw the Mona Lisa in it, but it doesn't really work the same way.

Even so, the examples shown here are better than what I've seen before. They seem to be on the right track using images instead of long paragraphs of text to try to describe the object. They are still missing the constraints and dimensions that come naturally to pro cad users (it can be done manually in openscad of course), but if you're just making a video game it's probably going to be fine for that.

Why would a non-tech person be on Hacker News? Isn't the clue in the name?

Not using OpenSCAD?

"Normal people" probably does not fall in the ballpark of HN target audience.

I'd say its 50/50 pessimistic and optimistic, with pessimistic attracting more attention because of human nature.

The people in the middle are still waiting and see , mostly it’s the extremes that are fully vested and loudest on the internet

Both parts seem pretty normal to me.
